Should I start Jalen Coker or Jordan Watkins in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 12:21 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Jalen Coker and Jordan Watkins are too close to call on usage: 79 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets against 76 percent of the snaps and 12 percent of the targets over their last 3 games. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jordan Watkins, and the board ranks him 80th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
